The Arkansas Capitol will be closed from Wednesday night through Monday so workers can replace aging electrical equipment.

Secretary of state spokesman Alex Reed says the $190,000 project will replace electrical distribution panels first installed in 1964. Reed says those panels control electricity to the north side of the Capitol, which houses the governor's office and House of Representatives.

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports (http://is.gd/8ggUgY ) that this week's project is the final state of work on the Capitol's electrical system, which began in December 2011 and cost about $340,000 total.

Reed says the funding for the project comes from the secretary of state's budget.
